Mary J. Blige's statement about abuse in her new single "Whole Damn Year" (from the new album 'The London Sessions') is getting the public's attention. Her message is simple -- wounds, no matter what form they are presented in, take time to heal. British artist Emile Sande ("Next to Me") co-wrote the track. Spousal abuse, child abuse, and bullying are addressed in "black and white" scenes that tell a story of those being abused building up strength to give voice to their pain. The video for the song does not hold back in illustrating the long-term damage of physical and emotional abuse using camera shots to flashback to the inner child. The song has the potential the have a liberating impact like McLemore and Ryan's "My Life." It is one of the rawest, most poignant statements on the need for healing and understanding of individuals in unhealthy relationships. "The London Sessions" is Blige's 13th album.
